drop-down form field item is not saved in xml format
Hi ?B?U2hpbg==?=,
I created a drop-down form field in word file and in xsd file i defined a string element for it. But when i saved word file in xml format, all fields saved, execepting this one from drop-down field. The dropdown field (as well as the checkbox) does not "translate" to plain text when saving to XML. Not even if you save to WordProcessingML. The entire information (list of terms as well as selected item) are in some special proprietary, binary format. The only non-macro solution that comes to mind would be to insert a REF field that references the form field's bookmark name. That should pick up what's displayed, and when you save as XML give you the text. Your biggest issue, I imagine, is going to be that the user will see what he selects a second time...
